Personality[]

Flect is a cold, calculated, and charismatic extremist, obsessively focused on the notion of destroying the Quirk society. He views Quirks as a disease to mankind and lived by the Quirk Singularity theory, believing that Quirks would eventually fall out of control and bring doom to humanity. He preaches that aiding in "humanity's salvation" is the only way to atone for being "afflicted" with a Quirk, and he considers Quirkless people to be "pure human beings". He is also incredibly ruthless, as he kidnapped a number of scientists to aid in his plans, threatening the lives of their families should they have refused to comply with him. Despite the brutality of his methods, he views them as a necessary way to preserve mankind and as the only way he could cleanse it, possessing not even an ounce of remorse for his actions.

This hateful disposition towards Quirks and the hero society was due to his upbringing and early life. Because of his powerful Quirk, everyone who had touched him would get hurt, resulting in him never having friends or forming any sort of emotional bond. He saw first hand that Quirks have clouded the judgement of humanity as the majority wouldn't notice the ones struggling with their newfound power. Flect was obsessed with the idea of destroying Quirks, no matter how many lives it took, viewing it as "humanity's salvation". No matter how villainous his actions may seem, he mostly bore no ill will towards humanity, as he viewed himself as its savior and prophet. Nonetheless, he is just as ruthless to those who oppose him, believing that the "gravely afflicted" are beyond help.

Despite his self-righteousness, Flect Turn's ideals are noted to be paradoxical, given that he and his followers have no compunction in using their own Quirks, or forcing the Quirks of other people to go berserk using deadly amounts of Ideo Trigger as a way of bringing "salvation", ironically causing the very thing that the Quirk Doomsday Theory predicts. These hypocritical values have also reached his acolytes, as while some of his followers genuinely believe his ideals, others simply joined him so their lives would be spared from his genocidal plans. In the end, he appears downright delusional in believing that the only way to save humanity was through the bloodshed and annihilation of Quirk users and society, rather than helping people like himself. Izuku pointed this out himself, saying that Flect could have tried harder to connect with others instead of giving up to his misery and despair. Even then however, Flect refused to waver or see the wrong of his actions, referring to the young hero as filth and declaring his hatred for Quirk society.

Abilities[]

Overall Abilities: As the leader of Humarise, Flect was regarded as a dangerous and extremely powerful villain who led his followers with a steadfast and charismatic approach. With his Quirk rendering him near-impervious to any physical harm, Flect was able to effortlessly contend with Izuku Midoriya, a hero-in-training and one of Class 1-A's strongest students, whose Quirk grants him superhuman strength and speed. In combat, Flect primarily relied on his Quirk to counter any oncoming attack while aided by his base's turrets to fend off and wear down his enemy. He didn't even need to touch Izuku himself to reflect his attacks and send him flying backwards. He could control the mirrors on his Arachne Exoskeleton with enough precision to reflect his turrets laser beams to strike Izuku and severely wound him multiple times during their fight. In more drastic circumstances, Flect was able to engage in close combat as well, to the point where Izuku had to use One For All at its fullest power to defeat him.

Genius Intellect: Flect is a tactical genius, carefully manipulating and planning the destruction of Quirk society for several years. He easily manipulated several aspects of his grand plan, effortlessly predicting the heroes' plans on his arrest and evading capture. He also revealed the cities where his Trigger Bombs were located in a global broadcast, causing mass panic in the process which made searching and locating the explosives more difficult for the heroes. In truth, the concealed bombs were meant as traps for the heroes as well, intending to wipe them all out, and he had members of his cult armed to defend the bombs should they have been found.

Leadership Skills: Flect held invaluable leadership skills, having been charismatic enough to rally together his cult, Humarise, being comprised of thousands of members in hideouts all over the world. Many of his followers were genuinely devoted to his cause, believing in his goal to spread humanity's "salvation". At the same time, he was fully capable of controlling people through threats and intimidation, as he did with the scientists he kidnapped such as Alan Kay and Eddie Soul.

Vast Connections: Being the leader of Humarise, Flect held connections with his cult's various branches all over the world. He was shown to have hired Trigger smugglers in Japan to aid the preparations for his grand plan. Most notably however, Otheon's chief of police was also secretly affiliated with Flect. This allowed him to mobilize Otheon's police to track Izuku and Rody Soul, having put the former on the nation's most wanted list as a suspect for mass murder, all in an effort to retrieve the deactivation key for Humarise's Trigger Bombs.

Quirk[]

Reflect (リフレクト, Rifurekuto^?): Flect's Quirk allows him to reflect any attack and its effect back at its user. He can also store the attack to use later, rather than just reflecting it immediately. This Quirk isn't well suited for enduring several powerful attacks and will wear out in prolonged battles. A more powerful attack cannot be reflected by the Quirk, showcased when he couldn't reflect Izuku's United States of World Smash in the climax of their battle.

This Quirk is constantly active, and anything that touches Flect will be reflected away from him, even without his intent.

Equipment[]

Arachne (アラクネ, Arakune^?)^[1]: Flect has a high-tech support item that is worn like a belt around the waist with nodes that lead up his spine. Protruding from the spinal frame are four segmented mechanical arms with spiked mirrors on the ends that can be used in conjunction with his Quirk. He can channel absorbed energy through the mirrors to act as thrusters, allowing him to hover and navigate in the air.

Activation Key: Flect possessed an activation key for the Trigger Bombs that took the appearance of a modern-styled dagger. It was activated by Flect holding the dagger upwards and pressing a button on the hilt, causing a blue stone on the blade to shine and detonate the bombs.

Battles & Events[]
